It is hard to put into words what a fantastic caregiver Paulette is. I have used both private day nurseries and preschool's and lower/middle schools and have to say without a doubt that the care provided for small children by Paulette is exemplary. The environment provided is both homely and has the facilities of nursery provision, the outside space and playroom provide a lovely environment and facilities. Her imagination, variety of activities and ability to personalise her service to each individual child is impressive. The mechanisms she uses for feedback to parents is effective, giving a written daily overview for each child plus a verbal handover on collection. This enables continuity of care and development for my child.
Paulette gets to know the children very well and has her own special bond with each of them. She has a positive and calm personality, her family are used to having child-minded children in their home and are a credit to her as a parent, they are welcoming and well mannered adding to the warm and friendly setting.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Paulette as a childminder, in over three years caring for my daughter she constantly exceeds my expectations. When my child first started attending Paulette's aged under 1, she used to ask at weekends to 'go to Paulettes', it's obviously a fun place to be. My child has never shown any reluctance to attend from the day she started. Paulette is a wonderful person and a real credit to the childcare profession.
